Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,119,401 shares of common stock.  The underwriters exercised their option with respect to all 1,119,401 additional shares on June 16, 2014.

 

The public offering closed on June 17, 2014, and we sold to the Underwriters an aggregate of 8,582,076 shares for gross proceeds of approximately $28.7 million, $26.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us of approximately $230,000.
